I don't see where you want to go with this. What about £30,000 overspending that you mentioned? the national debt is part of the economy. Nobody needs to eliminate it, we have to reduce it to around 60%-80% of GDP, we do that with the help of inflation and growth in GDP (that's where we need...

Brexiters have always had the chance to get us out since we joined in 1973. If Brexiters can command more than 36% of the electorate then Brexiters can control parliament and get us out of the EU. a recent European study suggested that the real number of Brexiters is around 33%. The rest got...

to take our country back? this is another myth. nobody has taken our country away from us. We can stop paying fees, walk out of this EU club and refuse entry to any EU passport carrying passenger anytime our parliament decides. If Brexiters don't win this time, they can regroup and vote for...

I am not worried if Brexit wins but I don't think it's likely. Most voters don't care that much about immigration, a recent survey puts immigration in 6th or 7th place in term of priority. To be honest, I think it's a myth that any government could control immigration, however much control is...

bookies said more than 95% of the new bets are now going to remain. probability for a Brexit result is now only 22%.

JCB and Dyson don't employ a huge number of people, and are not representative of our economy. If you quote a big pharma or RR then it's different. I am tempted to agree with you on this, hoping that Brexit may get some of our yougsters off their backside and do something positive. However, I...

the lifeline of any business is sales. ask yourself why we (and RR) sell so much more per country within the EU than outside. Isn't it because it's easier? Brexit will cause a lot of current purchasing plans to be put on hold. Ask any sales executive if they want Brexit.

the short term solution is more immigration. the slightly longer term is continuation of quantitative easing, keeping interest low as long as possible. the real answer is less promises on election manifestos and more productivity. Get more people into work. More robots on production lines.

no, I am not saying that. Airlines will buy their engines on fuel efficiency and price. However, government licences are needed for engines. Currently, the EU has trade deals with about 58 countries in addition to trading blocs, making the selling process much more streamlined than after Brexit...

@tillson I can think of a few reasons why Brexit would hurt sales for Rolls Royce. The first one is trade negociations. Before they are completed, there are more hurdles to do deals.

myth? the EU is a dead carcass. Just look at Greece. The EU is going to die one day, but not for many years yet. Greece's current budget deficit is lower than ours.

another big myth: nobody can predict the economic future if we vote out. if Brexit is great (economically), then the smart money would be pouring in from the moment the date of the referendum is announced. The reality is the opposite.

that is true, aslo true if foreign investors pull their money out of London, we will be economically worse off. That's what has happened in the last few months.

you can put half of that debt on account of over-reliance on the stock market and financial services. For decades, the City pays 20% of our expenditure. When the golden goose stops laying from 2009, we have nothing to replace it with. Immigration is the short term solution for Darling and...

the biggest myth is the charge that the EU is undemocratic. I can't see how logical Brexiters come to that conclusion. Currently, the bookies give Brexit 24% chance. The Pound is at $1.47- up 1c from yesterday. I guess a lot of Chinese bike importers can breath easy now.

The headset is standard part, it shouldn't take long to swap out the fork. I like the gtech the way it is. Nice frame, Switch on and pedal. Simple and effective.

Hi popsicle, the Santana2 is possibly woosh's best value for money step through bike, best suited for riders between 5ft4 to 6ft, 13st to 17st. http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?santana2 I know it very well. If you have any question, just ask.

I would have thought that the stock market would have reacted a lot sooner than that. There are a lot of private exit polls done for hedge funds, we should see some movement from 1-2PM. The BBC would normally give their exit poll prediction around 10PM Thursday .

yes, the carbon belt is very attractive. Shame the Gtech is single speed. The gearing is right for me on flat roads but you are likely to have stronger legs than me and will probably find that it's OK for you on the hill and wrong on the flat. The battery is 36V 5AH. It's fine on flat roads but...

Keith, I did have a go on a Gtech a little while ago. It's good for what you have in mind. However, there are a few better bikes for the same money like the Halfords Crossfire E.
